111. It's Just A Matter Of Time!
Tyler chuckled softly, clearly baffled by the question Aria had just asked him. It wasn’t just any random question — it was the kind that struck deeply, one he had been unconsciously waiting to hear for the longest time. And now that it had finally come, he found himself caught between disbelief and joy.Realizing that he was taking too long to respond, Aria tilted her head slightly and brought him back to reality.“I asked a question, Tyler,” she reminded him gently. “You’re yet to give me an answer. Is there anything wrong with the proposal I just made?”Her words snapped him out of his daze. Tyler immediately shook his head, a quick, almost nervous smile breaking across his face.“No! Nothing—there’s definitely nothing wrong with the proposal you just made,” he said eagerly. “In fact, I’m extremely happy to hear this coming directly from you. I’ve been hoping, praying, and waiting for this day to come true—for you to finally say something like this!”Aria studied him quietly, her e

Aria didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she stood still, her gaze fixed on the shadow cast on the wall. The silence stretched between them, heavy and deliberate. Anyone watching her at that moment could see it — the quiet fire of determination burning deep within her. Still unconvinced by Aria’s sudden cold demeanor, Melanie stepped closer, worry creasing her face. “Is anything wrong, Aria? I asked you a question. Are you okay at all?” Aria turned slightly, her expression unreadable. “Of course, I’m okay! I’m perfect. And yes, I heard what you said.” Melanie exhaled sharply. “Then you don’t mind answering the question I’ve been asking?” Aria arched a brow. “You mean the one about what else I’m going to do at the party?” Melanie nodded eagerly. “Yeah! I’m curious. You haven’t shared it with me, and I want to know what it is you plan to do.” Aria turned fully toward her this time, a faint, knowing smile tugging at her lips. “I wish I could tell you, Melanie,” she said, her ton

109. What Else Are You Planning To Do?
Aria took a careful look at Melanie. That question — the one she never expected — struck a nerve.And at that moment, it wasn’t something she was ready to share. At least not yet.Melanie, still puzzled by her silence, leaned forward.“Why aren’t you responding? Are you not going to tell me your husband’s name? Let’s know what he looks like, his status, his background… just to see if he’s even up to the standard of the Acosta family!”Aria shook her head slowly. She had already predicted this. If it wasn’t Melanie asking, it would’ve been someone else. The moment anyone heard about her marriage, the first thing they would want to know was who her husband was — and of course, how wealthy he might be.It was always the same question.But right now, Aria wasn’t ready to give that answer.Taking a steady breath, she finally said, “Let’s leave my husband’s name and his status for now, Melanie. What matters most at this moment is how he’ll be introduced. That should be our priority, not any
108. I Want To See Him!
Melanie could hardly believe what she just heard from Aria. She blinked twice, letting out a short, awkward laugh. “I know you’re joking, right?” she said, half chuckling, half confused. “I mean, you can’t be serious at all with this. Tell me I’m right?”But Aria only shook her head, her expression firm.“I’m not fuckin’ with you right now, Melanie,” she said, her tone sharp and steady. “I know exactly what I’m saying. I’m married — and I’ve been married for a while now.”Melanie froze, her jaw slightly open as she scratched her head in disbelief. Her thoughts ran wild, questions piling up faster than she could process them.“You can’t be serious right now, Aria,” she said, her voice rising with confusion. “There’s no way you’re telling me this. That’s… that’s something I can’t even wrap my head around! When did you get married? How did you get married? And most importantly — who did you get married to?”She shook her head rapidly, as if trying to clear the fog of disbelief. “And abov
107. You Are Married?
“As of now, my only strategy—the one thing I’m holding firmly onto—is the fact that I am the representative CEO of ABC,” Aria began, her voice steady but her eyes sharp. “Being the representative CEO means I have certain rights similar to the actual CEO’s. Not entirely equal, of course, but at least I’ll have access to things I couldn’t before.”Melanie folded her arms, listening intently as Aria continued.“My grandfather managed that company all by himself,” Aria said. “He did everything possible to make sure it survived through every challenge. Now imagine, after all that effort, another person steps in to take over—and we don’t even know who this person is. What if he’s a bad person? What if he dies suddenly? I don’t get it, Gurl, but let me set the facts straight—I cannot sit back and watch my grandfather’s company get buried like that. This is something he sweated for!”Melanie nodded slowly. She understood exactly what Aria meant.She had seen it all growing up—the effort, the
